You can't get the same functionality from an under fifty dollar video card. Not the case with the four hundred dollar ball.

true

but its still too much money....

i could take a 9800 pro about now, if i didnt just break myself replacing a dying monitor, bah, stupid money

There are lots of kind of people in the world. That includes those who will spend money on anything, and those who have way more money than they should. This ball is aimed at both of those.

The Neuticles page just reinforces the above.

People are weird. I paid $475.00 for a Fendi bag and $275.00 for the matching wallet. They are still wrapped in the packaging in the closet. I dont dare use it. B/f thinks I am crazy.

If I can do that, I cannot say a thing about someone paying that amount for a soccer ball.

My girlfriend buys bullsh!t Louis Vuitton and Kate Spade crap all the time. She can't go to Saks and not buy a purse. I don't give a crap because she uses her parent's money, but I've told to not expect me to buy her a damn purse over 50 bucks!

The same sort of people who would spend $400on a purse; ie, people who are either very well off, or should die.

Yeah, my wife has a $500 Louis Vuitton purse. It's the real deal. Actually, she has two Louis Vuitton bags.

I wouldn't pay $400 for a video card. I waited until the 9800 pros were below $200 to bite.
As for this stuff. I might pay like 10%-30% more for a quality item but I won't pay $400 for a $10 soccer ball just because it has some drawings on it.

Who the heck pays $400 for a ball??

The same people who will pay $3M for Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball, $650,000 for Hank Aaron's 755th, and $517,500 for Barry Bonds' 73rd. :D

Todd McFarlane for the McGwire because he is filthy rich. Don't know about the others.
